Writer

A native Texan turned Coloradan then Californian—and now Sydney-sider, Lindsay Bartels always pursues bringing the personal into her art. She has a BFA in Filmmaking, graduating with honors for her autobiographical documentary, and an MFA in Interior Architecture, focusing on sustainable design practices. When her firstborn was a year old, she created a workbook for new parents called YOUR BABY MANUAL. Lindsay lives on the Northern Beaches with her husband, their children, and two dogs; delighted to be among such an inclusive and celebrated writing community. IMOGEN IN WAITING: A Memoir of Modern Reproduction (and a Zibby’s Most Anticipated Book for Summer 2026) debuts 16 June 2026 with Third Rail Press.
